How to get a patent for work?

In order to work in the territory of another state, a person must obtain a patent for work. It is a document that allows you to stay in the country and formally take shape in the workplace. Permission is granted by the relevant executive body, that is, the Federal Migration Service.

So, to get a patent for work, a foreign citizen will have to collect a lot of papers and certificates. First of all it is necessary to issue an application that asks for the issue of this document. Also, you should have a passport or other document proving your identity, which is recognized by law in our country. In addition, a migration card will be required, confirming the legal entry into the territory of the Russian Federation with a mark on crossing the border.

The full package of documents is accepted by the citizen of another country by the migration service and is under consideration. The executive body of state power is obliged to render a decision on the essence of the application within ten days. The foreigner either receives a patent for work, or finds out about the refusal to ascertain the valid reasons. This document is not unlimited and is usually issued for several months. The maximum period of its validity is three months, after which an extension is necessary. However, the law allows for a limited number of renewals, therefore, a patent for work will function no more than a year in any case.

A foreign citizen does not have to apply to the migration service each time to renew the document, it is enough just to pay the personal income tax for the desired period. If such an action was not taken, the document is considered invalid the next day. At the same time a year later, an alien wishing to continue living and working in our country should contact the migration service for a new permit. In this case, you will also have to provide a certificate of payment of the above tax.

Many people arriving in another country are wondering about the need for a patent for work for foreigners. Of course, in the modern world there are many organizations engaged in illegal employment. It should be prepared for the fact that the wages of an employee who does not have permission documents will be understated several times. In addition, regulatory legal acts have been approved, according to which a certain penalty is imposed for the absence of a patent. For the first time a citizen of another country is subject to administrative penalties . Depending on the degree of guilt, the amount of the fine is assigned. Often its value varies from two to five thousand rubles. And also authorized bodies have the right to expel an alien from the borders of our state. If an individual was deported, he will not be able to visit Russia again next time in five years.

If, after an administrative penalty, a work patent has not been issued, the relevant executive body of the state authorities immediately closes the entry for a foreign citizen for at least three years.
